Nick Jonas has stunned fans by revealing he no longer wears the purity ring he and his brothers once swore they’d never take off until they were married.

The singer and actor, who celebrated his 22nd birthday on Tuesday, insists his values haven’t changed but he no longer feels he has to advertise his virginity.

Jonas tells The Huffington Post, “This is … not something I’m doing anymore. But I’ve got my set of values, things that are important to me now at this point in my life and that’s all that matters.

“I’ve had an incredibly intense journey with faith and religion and my own growth. My belief in God is still very strong and important to me as a person and I think that’s all that should matter. I grew up in a church environment and still have love for the church.

“What’s important now is my relationship with God, and that I not judge and that I not be judged.”

The former Jonas Brothers star celebrated his birthday by debuting the music video for his new solo single, “Jealous,” which features his girlfriend, beauty queen Olivia Culpo.

Singer Nick Jonas gave his fans a show when he stripped off his shirt at a gay club in New York City on Tuesday.

The former Jonas Brothers star was a special guest at venue BPM, and he surprised a crowd of more than 1,000 revelers with a sexy striptease.

Jonas, 21, played his new solo track “Jealous” at the club, and while the song blasted through the speakers, he unbuttoned his dress shirt and began flexing for the eager audience.

He even showed off his boxing skills by throwing some punches in the air, a talent he learned while filming his new mixed martial arts TV drama, Kingdom.

Jonas, who has been dating former Miss Universe Olivia Culpo for the past year, was also at another party called Up & Down on Sunday, and even took to Twitter earlier in the day and wrote, “I love my gay fans.”

Pop star Rita Ora has denied she once had a fling with singer Nick Jonas, despite a song he wrote about their alleged breakup.

Last year, the Jonas Brothers star penned a track for the group titled “What Do I Mean To You,” in which he namechecks a woman named Rita, and the lyrics suggest his former paramour treated him badly.

The lyrics read, “No need for water, Rita/ You got the wine/ Searching for diamonds/ When I gave you the time. … Keys to an open door, don’t need a lock/ Stains on a dirty floor, you don’t see a spot.”

However, during an interview on “Watch What Happens Live” on Sunday, Ora reveals that while the track was meant for her, there was no romance and insisted she had no clue Jonas had feelings for her.

Ora explained, “I never dated him. I actually met Nick through a friend and it was a very weird situation because we were close, but it never went to that level and then I read the lyric and I kind of messaged him and was like, ‘I have no idea where this came from. If you want to talk about it, call me.’

“He was like, ‘You know what, I just obviously didn’t put out how I felt across to you properly.’ And it was one of those situations. He never really told me that I think, but regardless we’re still friends and I still have a lot of respect for him.”

Both have moved on from the incident, as Ora confirmed she’s in a relationship with DJ Calvin Harris, while Jonas has been dating former Miss Universe, Olivia Culpo, since last year.

Pop star Nick Jonas was left nursing more than a bruised ego during a charity baseball game on Saturday after he was knocked to the ground by a rival player.

The Jonas Brothers drummer was taking part in the Dirk Nowitzki Celebrity Baseball Game at the Dr Pepper Ballpark in Frisco, Texas, to raise money for charity.

Jonas faced tough competition from professional and amateur athletes, and was knocked to the ground in a collision on the field.

After the game, Jonas took to Twitter.com to write, “Had such a great time playing today… And a great cause too. Had a little injury at the end of the game, but I’m all good not a big deal!”

The event was held to raise money for the Dirk Nowitzki Foundation, a children’s charity, and the Heroes Foundation, which helps cancer-sufferers.

The pop star and actress, who became engaged to wed Australian actor Liam Hemsworth earlier this year, opened up about the odd honor during an appearance on Los Angeles DJ Ryan Seacrest’s show on October 18, when the host asked if she thought the tune was about her relationship with Jonas.

She said, “I don’t know who else is getting married … so I feel like that’s pretty blatant.”

But Cyrus insisted she doesn’t plan to make a big deal of the drama: “Everyone has to write songs that are about things that they felt … so you can’t ever hate on someone for writing about something you’ve been through. I think that you kind of get a fair warning when you date an artist and someone that’s a writer. When you’re going through things, you’re going to end up hearing about it on the radio.”

Appearing on Seacrest’s show on Monday, Jonas applauded his “friend” for her take on the song, stating, “I think she put it really well. She’s absolutely right. … It’s all about being open and honest.”

Miley Cyrus is convinced the new Jonas Brothers song “Wedding Bells” is all about her.

The pop star and actress, who became engaged to wed Australian actor Liam Hemsworth earlier this year, once dated Nick Jonas, and though she’s more than a little upset with him for not giving her any warning he had written a tune about her, she accepts songwriters often pour their emotions and experiences into their work.

During an appearance on Los Angeles DJ Ryan Seacrest’s show on Thursday, Cyrus was asked if she thought the tune was about her relationship with Jonas, and she shot back, “I don’t know who else is getting married… so I feel like that’s pretty blatant.”

Nick Jonas has thanked his fans for supporting his stint in Broadway musical “How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying” after learning the show is to close early.

The pop star joined the production in January , taking over the role of J. Pierrepont Finch from “Glee” star Darren Criss, and he was due to stay on in the role until at least July.

But on Tuesday, producers announced the curtain would fall on the show for the final time on May 20 following sluggish box office sales.

Jonas has now expressed his gratitude to his devotees and to his Broadway colleagues for giving him the chance to shine on stage.

In a series of Twitter.com posts on Tuesday night, he wrote, “What an amazing experience it’s been with @H2SBway! Thx to all my Finch fans, producers and fellow cast. Thanks Broadway…”

And the singer/actor already knows what he’ll be working on once the musical wraps – he’ll be focusing his efforts on the new Jonas Brothers album.

He added, “Excited about my next adventure – I know 2 guys who are happy I’ll be back in the studio to write again! @KevinJonas @JoeJonas”.

Meanwhile, his stage co-star Michael Urie has also addressed the closure news, tweeting: “So saddened by @H2SBway ending next sunday, but having the time of my life till the end or bust!!! Come see us! proudtobeinthisfraternity”.

The show debuted last year with Daniel Radcliffe in the lead role and was nominated for eight Tony Awards, winning a best actor trophy for John Larroquette.

The Jonas Brothers star played a romantic interest for the blonde beauty’s character when he recently made a guest appearance in the NBC musical series.

The duo fueled rumors of a budding relationship when they were spotted enjoying dinner together in New York last month, but Jonas has assured his legion of female fans he’s still a bachelor, and insists his relationship with Hilty is strictly platonic.

He tells EOnline.com, “We are just friends. And I’m enjoying being a single man here in New York, because my work is my priority these days.”

Jonas ended his 10-month relationship with Aussie singer Delta Goodrem in February, and he has previously dated Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez.

Jonas is currently starring in Broadway musical “How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying,” while Goodrem has just landed a judging role on the Australian version of TV talent show “The Voice.”
